City Steam

7006-5

City Steam is a light warm greige with a quiet cream undertone. It works as a soft whole-room neutral where white feels bare and beige feels too yellow. The color can handle hallways, open living areas, and bedrooms with natural textures.

In bright light, it stays fairly pale. In shadow, the beige base becomes clearer. Use warm white at the trim and avoid very cool gray accents if the goal is softness.

City Steam in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
